How to create new Emoji smileys with Gboard
Table of contents:
Do you use emojis when writing conversations? Emoticons help us express ourselves when we chat with someone via WhatsApp, Instagram or other messaging app. Each manufacturer has its own style and gallery, but Google incorporates a very extensive catalog of emojis in Gboard, its keyboard for Android and iPhone. This app is updated with new emoticons, so you can use them.
Now we can send emoticons with expressions in different formats. For example, a laughing monkey, or wearing a cowboy hat. What Google does is select the classic emojis, that is, those with the yellowish face that generally show a feeling, and merges them with the rest of the emojis.
How can I create a new smiley with Gboard? First of all, you must have the app downloaded. Gboard, the Google keyboard, is available for both Android and iOS. Download the app on Google Play in the case of Android phones and the App Store on iPhone. Then, follow the steps that the application shows you. Remember to set the Google keyboard as default. This way, clicking on the text box will open it automatically.
In any messaging app (for example WhatsApp), search for a conversation and tap on the text box. CWhen the keyboard opens, click the emoji button at the bottom. Find the smiley you want to merge.Remember that it mainly works on those who have a yellow face. That is, the first to appear in the gallery of emoticons. Also in other icons, such as hearts, animals etc.
Then press the icon. In the upper area of the keyboard you will see that different suggestions are created. Select the one you want to send.
What if the recipient doesn't have Google Keyboard installed?
Even if the contact you want to send the emoji to doesn't have Gboard installed, they can still see it. Especially if we talk about WhatsApp, since Google does not send them as a smiley, but as a Sticker What's more, the recipient can save it as a favorite in WhatsApp and then send it to other contacts, like any other sticker in the Facebook app.In other messaging apps, such as Telegram, it will be sent as if it were an image.
